FISHERMEN LOST.
Disastrous Storms Sweep the
Coast of Newfoundland.
A Heavy Loss Of Life Reported
Among the Fishing Fleet.

The fishing schooner Geraldine, at Canso,
N. S., from the Grand Banks of Newfound-
land, besides having her decks swept, lost
fourteen dories and everything movable One
man, named Nicholas Ash, was lost. The
Geraldine reports great loss of life among
the hand-line fishermen on the Grand Banks
by the recent fierce gales.
Captain Jameson. of the Geraldine states
that the most violent and destructive Of
great havo. Early in the morning
there was no indication of an ap-
preaching storm, and at 5 o'clock
all the dories Of the Geraldine, sixteen in
number, set out for the travis Then there
was only q light breeze from the south
east. Two hours later the barometer
showed signs of the approach of dirty
weather, and guns were at once fired as n
signal for the fisherman to return on board the
vessel.
All the boats but one succeeded in reach 'ng
the schooner. In that boat was Nicholas
Ash. Though only a short distance away
when the signals were fired, he had not time
enough to return before the storm descended
and swamped his boat and he was lost.
AS the Geraldine tore along before the
storm many other fishing vessels passed her,
all adrift and showing signs Of having suf-
half mast for the loss Of men, and the num-
ber of the victims cf the gale must have been
terribly large. After the weather had
moderated, the Carrie c. Miles, of Province
town, Mass, was spoken, leaking badly.
A large number of dories were seen bot
tom up. and Captain Jameson states that the
loss of life is enormous. He says he has been
going to sea for twenty years, and that this

ana McmDcrSnlp.
The annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, at st. Louis, which
has attracted more attention than any pre-
ceding one for many years, is the twenty

ton. Its first post, according to Washing
ton dispatch to thu New York Sun,
was organized in Decatur, ILL.,, April
G, 1866, and the second quickly fol-

ritual have been materially modified during
the lapse of more than twenty years since that
first meeting The second national encamp-
ment was held at Philadelphia in January,
1868, and the Grand Army then took on
new and far more important form, with pro-
visions for permanent establishment. Cen
eral John A. Logan was elected Commander
n-Chief, and a few months later signallzed
tine beginning Of his career as head of the
organization by issuing his famous order
directing the observance of May 30th as
Memorial Day. The third national encamp-
ment was held at Cincinnati, where General
Logan was reelected Commander-in-C Chief,
and General Lucius Fairchild and General
J. R. Hawlcy respectively Senior and

annual encampment was at Washington, the
fifth at Boston, the sixth at Cleveland, the
seventh at New Haven, the eighth at Harris

twelfth at Springfield, Mass. the thirteenth
at Albany, the fourteenth at Dayton, the

August, 1886, there were shown to be con.
nected with the organization 5, 765 posts and
299. OS7 members at the date Of the last pre-
viors official reports. During the year the
posts had expended an aggregate OF $2o5,6
out of their charity and relief fund, not
reckoning the expenditures of 75Oposts whose
reports had not been received, and there was
a balance in the fund of 1901 ,0l2.

Natural Gas Once a Nuisance.

In 1927 there lived in Washington
County farmer by the name of McCook,
an uncle of the famous General Arson G.
McCook, the present Secretary of the
United States Senate. McCook's farm
was situated on the old national pike,
eight or ten miles out of Brownsville. In
attempting to dig we'll a short distance
back from the pike, he struck large flow
of natural gas. This by accident became
ignited, and the flame it gave forth scared
the horses passing on the pike and many
runaways occurred. This went on for
some time until the authorities in that
section passed an ordinance stigmatizing
it as a nuisance and compelling McCook
to suppress it as such, which he did.
Thus what the citizens of Pittsburg now
consider the greatest discovery of the
nineteenth century, just half a century
ago the citizens of Washington County
considered the greatest nuisancc.-Pats'
